Every React Developer should know these libraries

Hey, Devs! I'm here to share some best React component libraries that are popular among developers for their usability and accessibility.

Picking the correct library for an application can be tricky, When it comes to creating modern React applications, these component libraries save us ample time and effort.

So, let’s begin.

React Libraries

1. Forms & Validation

2. State Management

3. Routing & Type Checking

4. Styling

5. UI Components libs

6. API Client

Wrapping Up!

That’s all from my side. Although there are multiple other React libraries that developers find helpful, I have mentioned only best ones.

Let me know if you found this post helpful!

I personally don't use the majority of them, but maybe because I haven't had the need for now.
However I miss one of the most important categories for a developer: Testing!!!
In this category I would recommend "jest", "React-Testing-Library" and "react-hooks-testing-library".

Yeah, I only use TypeScript, GraphQL and Tailwind. I use none of the others, maybe axios. But you missed an opportunity to tell developers about real utility packages they should know about, these are completely optional and opinionative, there is one package I tell all of my new react students about: react-media-hook

PrimeReact is also an outstanding UI Component library for React. It is very easy to use, has great documentation and contains a lot of pre-built components, themes.
